My last purchases for a while - retired today so picked these up to celebrate. And drank a 2005 Chablisienne Les Clos and a 2010 Uccelleria Brunello to kick off the party.

Congrats on both fronts (the retirement and the 1st retirement purchase ; )

In HK they use Mouton Rothschild for that.
On its own they complain that the taste of the Mouton stays in their mouth too long.
Oh well…

Picked up 6 OWC 2016 Leoville Las Cases at auction plus one magnum VR Suchots and 6 Pommard 1er Cru both from 2018.

Also been buying more 2019 Justin Girardin Burgundies from SLB, Santenay, Chassagne Montrachet Rouge and Pommard, plus 2019 Beaune 1ers Crus from Morot, being a few from each of several vineyards - Marconnets, Bressandes, Teurons etc.

Not sure if any of you see Justin Girardin wines. I’ve done a few Zoom tastings with him and the local importer. They are very good value particularly when the inflated prices of most Burgundies are considered. His whites are good but the reds are better though that is most of his production. The 2014s are a’ point now and I’ve been impressed by the vineyard characteristics that give each wine distinctive flavours.
Hi claudius. It has been a long time i did not had an Albert Morot red wines. Recent vintages are as good as his wine from 12-15 years ago? Considering to buy some too.

The wines from 2019 seemed pretty successful with good fruit and structure.
Did a Zoom tasting earlier this year with Morot and the local importer and tasted pretty good, maybe in a more commercial style that decades ago??

The wines are still reasonably priced for Burgundy so I have a few cases of recent vintages. Not sure about the ageing but the 19s tasted good young.

Cheers
Mark

1996 Chevillon LSG
Not tasted this but had the Vaucrains recently and that was very good, so have high hopes for this.

Over the holiday weekend I popped a trio of mags including a one of these and let’s just say, you will not be disappointed with your purchase.

JoelD · Post by **JoelD** » Sat Sep 10, 2022 2:27 am

Jealous. I really want to try the 2014. I'm partial to that vintage in general. I was in providence last weekend and was going to buy a bottle at a wine bar there but couldn't quite find the time. Oh well. Will keep an eye out.

Claudius2 · Post by **Claudius2** » Sat Sep 17, 2022 1:41 pm

Currently sipping Remoissenet Meursault La Cras 1er Cru, 2015.
This is a powerful white Burgundy and in a very idiosyncratic style. I imagine some would not care for it but it is incredibly complex and rich without being flabby and overdone.

Nice light gold colour. Nose shows ripe yellow fruits and nutty oak. Palate shows the ripeness of 2015 with tangerine and honey, quince and almonds. Nicely toasty and with enough minerality and acidity to handle the fruit density. The 2014 is racier, longer and more mineral, but this wine is so rich and intense.

This is the first bottle from the case and I look forward to the rest. Not for Sav Blanc lovers of course…

Bid on some German wines at the VDP auction, but the prices put them so far above budget ( I did get a couple of bottles) that I used the money to buy non auction wines in London.

It was Rakuten. Looks like it is back to 2% again.

2 x 6 of Ch. Canon 2016 - yes I know it did not get upgraded - but it is half the price of Figeac 2016 and two thirds the price of Canon 2015 - and some of the critics reckon it is better than the 2015. At £665/6 ex tax it seems like a reasonable medium-term proposition.

Comte Flaneur · Post by **Comte Flaneur** » Thu Sep 22, 2022 5:41 pm

Been on a binge buying surge lately

At auction today I got a 12 bt case of 2006 Leoville Barton for £600, a 12 bt case of 2004 Pichon Lalande for £1200, 2 x 2010 Massolino Barolo Parafada for £160 and 3 X 2011 Produttori del Barbaresco Paje for £130, all before 15% commission.

From a work colleague I got 6 x 2012 Clos Mogador, 3 x 2005 Ponet Canet, 3 x Ch Grillet 2010, 2 x 2012 Humbert Gevrey Chambertin VV, 3 x 2013 Fevre Chablis Bougrots, 6 X 2014 Bilaud Simon 1er Cru Montee de Tonnerre and Vaillons, 3 each - that lot for a bit over £1800 - that’s me done now for 2022

Nicklasss · Post by **Nicklasss** » Thu Sep 22, 2022 10:54 pm

Good catch Ian. I've been not buying much lately, too much spending on private school for my kids, orthodentist treatment for Simone and lodging reservation for Italy in July 2023... looking forward November, when I'll be able to spend a bit more on wines!

I still have some 2013 Fevre Bougros, we drank a bottle of that last week and it was delicious but not as rich as one would expect from a Grand Cru, I bet you'll like the 2014 Billaud Simon 1er better.

marcs · Post by **marcs** » Fri Sep 23, 2022 10:06 pm

Ok where can we lay down bets on Ian buying more in 2022?

I have gotten my buying somewhat under control in the last year or so, but I just sprang for a case of 2011 d’Yquem at $200/bottle all in (750s)

JimHow · Post by **JimHow** » Fri Sep 23, 2022 10:27 pm

Mmmmm VERY well done, Marcus, I love that vintage for d'Yquem.

marcs · Post by **marcs** » Sat Sep 24, 2022 1:18 am

I’ll see if I can get it from the auction house in time to bring one to BWE DC

JimHow · Post by **JimHow** » Sat Sep 24, 2022 3:07 am

We drank that wine in 2015 at... Chateau d'Yquem.
One of my highlights of that magical trip.
Indeed, it was my wine of the trip.

There's a Nicola video at d'Yquem out there as well, I couldn't immediately find it.

2011 d'Yquem will always be an epic vintage in my book.

marcs · Post by **marcs** » Sat Sep 24, 2022 4:50 am

Per critics and Cellartracker 2011 is a great vintage for d’yquem but a small rung below 2001-2009-2015 which seem to be viewed as the very greatest vintages of the past 20 years. However they are roughly two to three times the price of the $200/bottle I paid for 2011. I did wonder if I should get 6 bottles of the 2015 for the same price I paid for the case of 2011

Comte Flaneur · Post by **Comte Flaneur** » Sat Sep 24, 2022 11:13 am

Well done Marc, Alex gave me a bottle of 2011 Yquem last week which I plan to open sooner rather than later.

Nicklasss · Post by **Nicklasss** » Sat Sep 24, 2022 5:00 pm

Very good catch marcs. The 2011 Château d'Yquem was marvellous when we had it at the Château in 2015. A great Yquem.

Wow, Grilett is something one never sees stateside. Any concerns over Condrieu of that age?
